Abstract: In this personal narrative, I discuss my experience as part of the Honors Program while attending Western Oregon University from 2011 to 2015. The first two sections are spent discussing the Honors core curriculum classes I took as a freshman and sophomore student. The Junior and Senior Year sections dive into the familial loss and personal struggles that impeded my ability to complete the Honors thesis project as I had originally imagined it. Finally, the paper concludes with a reflection on the lessons I learned from my time in Honors, how the relationships I formed have impacted my life positively, and what I hope to accomplish with my bachelor’s degree.
